Description
Carl-Eric Aubin leads a thirteen-author team adding three-dimensional detail to the grading of curved spines in teens. Their 2026 study covers 162 young people with the common Lenke 1 pattern of adolescent scoliosis. Standard grading uses flat X-ray views, which miss twist and sideways shift at the curve's peak. The team rebuilt each spine in three dimensions from paired X-ray images.
Twist and shift varied widely even among teens whose flat views looked much alike. Links between curve size on flat views and the new measures changed by spine region. In the lower curve, several links were firm, while higher up they were weak or absent. The authors argue the added measures give surgeons facts that flat grading cannot supply on its own.
